Do you have the same problem with the Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park? What about the Disney Concert Hall in LA?
If your issue is with Gehry's style as an architect, that's fine. But come on - the man (really, the firm) has extensive experience designing this type of building. Do you really think they just ignored the acoustic aspect of the whole thing? I understand if you can't wrap your head around how it will work, but you have to assume that they can. They've done it plenty of times before.
